WDIV reporter Hank Winchester’s suggestion on MSNBC that some Detroiters are delinquent on their water bills because they’d “rather spend money on cable” has drawn some angry responses.
Among those arrested were pastors and seniors, who were placed in the backs of police cars and hauled off.
Maureen Taylor pulled no punches, saying the WDIV reporter “doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about.”
Police and paramedics were called to the bridge at 11:30 a.m. today.
Tens of thousands of gallons of water that spewed from leaking pipes at the vacant Detroit City High School last week have turned to ice.
Despite complaints, water continued to creep up the basement steps and rain down from pipes in the hallways at an alarming rate.
The city is woefully behind in shutting off water to thousands of vacant buildings – at a cost to all water users.
